State releases final study on Route 17 corridor suggestions

POUGHKEEPSIE — The state Department of Transportation has released the final version of its $1 million study of the Route 17 corridor between Harriman and Monticello.

The completed study is now posted at dot.ny.gov/rt17corridor. It is a large file and may take some time to download.

The study’s key recommendations, made earlier this year, remain adding a third lane in each direction from Harriman to Middletown, as well as improving key interchanges and developing new and expanding existing park-and-rides.
